 Bert  revealed today his desire for a Big Ten-SEC football challenge

 

Possible Match Ups According to Andrew Holleran.

No. 1: Alabama at Michigan

Both College Football Playoff contenders. Both seen by many as the favorites in their respective conferences. Plus, Saban vs. Harbaugh, in Ann Arbor. It’d be epic. 

No. 2: Ohio State at LSU

A rematch of the 2008 BCS National Championship Game. Could the Buckeyes get revenge in what surely would be a night game in Death Valley?

No. 3: Tennessee at Nebraska

Two programs that dominated the 1990s and are hoping to get back to an elite level in the 2010s. The Volunteers would probably be a fairly big favorite, but if the game’s in Lincoln, Neb., it could be good. 

No. 4: Michigan State at Auburn

Both of these teams are viewed as potential dark horses to win their respective divisions. It’d be a nice clash of styles, too, with the Tigers’ spread offense against the Spartans’ stout defense. 

No. 5: Ole Miss at Wisconsin

Yes, Wisconsin-Arkansas would be fun for the Bret Bielema storyline, but we like matching up the Badgers against the Rebels for competition purposes. 

No. 6: Iowa at Georgia

Two teams with outside chances to win their league. We’d like the Bulldogs in this one. 

No. 7: Florida at Penn State

The Gators are a team on the rise under Jim McElwain, while the Nittany Lions are trying to reach another level under James Franklin. 

No. 8: Maryland at South Carolina

Under Armour vs. Under Armour. 

No. 9: Texas A&M at Northwestern

Could be seen by some as an underachievers vs. overachievers matchup. 

No. 10: Rutgers at Arkansas

Bret Bielema isn’t a big fan of Ohio State, so he gets to play the team led by a former Urban Meyer assistant in Chris Ash, who was once his assistant at Wisconsin. 

No. 11: Mississippi State at Minnesota

Two teams that will probably be better than most are expecting them to be this fall. 

No. 12: Indiana at Kentucky

A basketball rivalry meets the gridiron. 

No. 13: Missouri at Illinois

See: Indiana at Kentucky. 

No. 14: Purdue at Vanderbilt

OK, this one is boring.
